Pakistan Blocks NATO Supply Routes After Border Attack Kills Several Soldiers (or Maybe "Soldiers")

This isn't on Obama so much as it's just the unavoidable tension of the situation: Pakistan is a state supporter of terrorism, period, and has perhaps the most terrorist-loving population on earth. Their cooperation is bought and coerced; at some point, they're going to declare allegiance to Team Terror.

This will probably pass, as it's hopefully just a bit of diplomatic theater; if not, I don't know what.

Pakistani authorities blocked a vital supply route for NATO troops fighting in Afghanistan on Thursday after the killing of three soldiers in two NATO cross-border incursions, officials said.

Trucks and fuel tankers for foreign forces in Afghanistan were stopped at the Torkham border post in the Khyber tribal region near the city of Peshawar, hours after the raid.

"Yes, the NATO supplies have been stopped. It has been done locally," a senior security official told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
